New York rapper Pete Rock is back on his Dunkin’ Donuts coffee grind. The hip-hop veteran has saluted the donut enterprise amid growing drama surrounding its biggest competitor.
Rock went to Instagram Tuesday (April 17) to throw a major punch at Starbucks with a uncomfortably hilarious DD meme.
Over the past few days, music mogul Russell Simmons has called out the coffee empire for its now-infamous arrest of two black men at a Philadelphia store.

A couple days ago, comedian Kevin Hart went to Twitter to single out the coffee franchise but did not call for a boycott.
Message to the @Starbucks in Philadelphia….Our city is shining bright like a diamond right now. Please make this situation right. I repeat please make this situation right!!!!!!! Once again MAKE THIS RIGHT

Let's make one thing very clear….This is not a boycott @Starbucks situation….This is horrible management. The manager on duty was wrong. It's that simple…That's who needs to take responsibility for this wrong doing.

I will address your ignorance professionally…I have no obligation or relationship with @Starbucks 1st and foremost. @hm problem came from the top which gave reason for the reaction to that situation. This problem comes from a bad hire. The person was wrong not the brand. https://t.co/kSA0wCgss4

Last weekend, the coffee conglomerate issued its apology which ultimately fell on deaf ears.
